Why is the maximum volume on my 250 watt amplifier unit lower than my television itself?

Not clear to me what your asking but I will try to give you some information that might help you. No TV has a 250 watt amplifier. If your TV is connected to an external amplifier then your audio output power is governed by the amplifier. Twenty watts RMS would fill a large room with lots of sound. Many electronic manufacturer's quote output power in watts but without tying it to a label like "RMS", you cannot compare the numbers from different manufacturers.

Have you adjusted the gain? It also depends on the cables and speakers used. More power drawn from the speakers could result in less power per speaker.

It's also quite possible that the Volume Pot is not the correct one or is defective and could be why you have to turn it up so high. Was the sound ever distorted? Or was it clean? If you did overdrive the output you might have gotten distortion. But if the sound was clean but low in volume, then it might be the Volume control , preamp setting or output amp.

You need a receiver to push the amps through it. It demands a lot. TVs don't have much.

Thanks for your question. The internal audio amplifier in such a TV that runs the TV's built-in speakers is probably less than, or around, 1 watt. The actual specification is available in the TV's users manual.

you can listen on the amplifier a lot better than not. and the sound just goes to you so everyone in the room is not shouting turn the tv down

Hi there, To tell you the truth I don't know. We were so dissatisfied with the unit, we sent it right back. We have our TV in a rather large room and we wanted to boost the volume and this thing was no better than the sound from the TV it's self.

There is an amp adjustment, but it can't be turned down low enough for me either. Must have been made for the really, really deaf :-(

I'm using the amp for my flat screen tv, which only has a digital audio out. The tv's speakers aren't very good. I run the digital audio out to a digital to analog converter. Then it's a simple matter of hooking up some speakers. BTW, the amp is well worth the money if you can use its configuration.

just figured this out myself. sounds weak, even when hooked up to a 50 watt per channel amp. volume is literally cut in half. forced to pump the stereo receiver up to twice or more. absolutely dismal, even with a receiver. note to self... going forward, any tv that doesn't have variable out, doesn't get into my shopping cart LOL.

It maybe needs tuned. Your amp has enough wattage to make it loud enough to make people cover their ears when turned up. Have you searched the home theatre FORUMS for answers? That usually helps

I have the same issue. This was not made for a TV setup the way its advertised. You will need the separate receiver and speakers for optimal results.

Cody, I have an amplified distribution box. I tried increasing the amplification but my Tv started to periodicallyBlack out because of the excessive boost so I bought this device to boost only the cable going to my modem.I have not had any more problems since.

Your TV has a built in signal strength control. You can't get too strong of a signal.

My tv has plenty of volume. I adjusted the treble down to minimum and the base up to maximum which reduced the "tinneyness" sound of small speakers considerably. I am satisfied with the sound quality, so I hav'nt looked into any upgrades.

You havent given me much to go on, such as what kind of speakers you are connecting, what connections and cables you are using, etc. I have this same amp and it has worked flawlessly for me for well over a year. Plenty of volume, and lots of headroom. I typically run the amp at about 60% gain and then simply control the volume via the input signal. Double check all of your connections and your input source. I highly doubt the issue is with the amp.

You are almost certainly stuck with using the volume knob on the amplifier. Audio out from the TV is line-level and not subject to the TV's remote. The TV's headphone output may be subject to the TV's remote, but in some cases, such as my Panasonic TV, the headphone level is controlled from a separate menu item. Overall, you are not going to get a fully integrated experience unless you go with a sound bar that has its own remote control infrared receiver, or a full AV receiver setup which becomes the master source for all signals and has its own remote control.
